    Match Day Thread Hull City v Middlesbrough

    The only ones to come out of that with any credit for me are Giles, Belloumi, Gelhardt and possibly Destan. The rest were utter ****e, particularly Ajayi, Egan, Slater and Crooks. Tactically I'll agree that we need to do more to stop it being too easy to pass straight through the midfield so...

    Match Day Thread Hull City v Middlesbrough

    The result entirely depends on how many goals we gift them on the night. With no individual errors they'll need to do something special. If we gift them goals like we've done too often then who knows. It'll continue to be the same logic for every game until we stop giving very soft goals away...

    Agreed. We just need to make sure we're using him as an outlet more frequently as the number of crosses he's able to put in per game has definitely dropped off recently. It's the build up that's started to fall down a bit.

    I think McBurnie missing plays a big part, but on the point of the full backs, they'll often make the runs still and then not get picked for that pass anywhere near as much as previous. I think people focusing on the attack not being as good when it was second best in the league, ahead of the...

    Match Day Thread Hull City v Ipswich Town

    Some of the more critical posts at the moment come across really petty to me. I think people have gotten carried away with our league position and now 'expect' results, like we're owed them. Frankly the gaffer has them all playing out of their skins and has introduced an exciting, direct style...

    I thought we shaded it until the defensive cock up that cost us. You could tell we were trying to go for it because not long after they opened the scoring, us losing the ball high up lead to a 4 against 2 breakaway and somehow we kept them out. Another bit of sloppy defending later and it goes...

    I rate Ndala to be honest. I think he could do with a start some time soon, but then who do you drop? Destan doesn't give as much energy as Joseph up top, but then he's got a good header on him and he looks a better finisher so that's a conundrum in itself. You kind of need Joseph's energy...

    Should be interesting. All the ****housery we were displaying pre injuries has completely dissipated atthus point. I'd hoped Crooks would provide a bit but so far he hasn't since coming back in.

    Match Day Thread QPR v Hull City

    Crooks and Hughes were out of sorts today. Otherwise I don't think we played that badly but we didn't create nearly enough and we were far too open at the back, even for us. QPR nullified us well, took the game to us and fully deserved the win.

    Transfer Rumours January 2026 Transfer Thread…

    We're doing well 'despite' the transfer embargo, not because of it. We've brought in a manager who knows how to get the best out of players with fast paced counter attacking play. Half the team that's playing at the minute have been written off by many of us at some point or another when we've...

    A **** tonne of goals in the time he's available apparently.

    Match Day Thread Hull City v Portsmouth

    Palmer had a bit of a run in the side late last season that helped us survive with a couple of vital assists and (I think) a goal, at a time when we couldnt buy even a chance to score. He's not a bad player at all but he's more suited to slow build up then threading the killer pass through...

    Match Day Thread Derby v Hull City

    I never said Ajayi was in the wrong. It's Pandur's fault, I've said that a few times now. But the ball was right there to be gotten rid of in any direction Ajayi wanted. He could probably even have turned with it. Pandur shouldn't have called for it, but at the same time if Ajayi's aware of what...

    Pandur can't sit on his line in that instance whether he tries to take charge of the situation or simply act as the plan B. He did try to clear it but he both misjudged it, and slipped. He's at fault for it. Ajayi does have more options though... At the point Pandur removed himself as a passing...
